Tom Brady missing the voluntary workouts for the New England Patriots is not as big a deal as has been portrayed by the media.
Following the Patriots' 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl in February, doubts emerged as to whether Brady, 40, would return for the 2018 season.
Speculation further increased when Brady seemingly elected to skip the voluntary portion of the Patriots' offseason training program, marking the first time he has missed portions of it since 2010.
